The “Sagittal” horse shoe with its blunt toe, extra support for the bars and wide web on its upper (foot) side, is designed to ease the biomechanics of the horse’s foot in the sagittal (toe to heels) plane.

By bringing the dorsal break over point (blunt toe) back, recruiting the bars into weight bearing and with its wide upper surface it is especially suited for shoeing horses with a tendency to have (front) feet with long toes – low / under run heels and flat soles.

Additional features include:

- Accurate nail hole design, with the top (toe) nail holes placed towards the outside of the web allowing safe nailing even when setting the shoe back relative to the toe of the foot, with the nail hole placement growing gradually coarser towards the heels so as to allow for a wider fit in this area.

- Build in sole relief on the hoof side in the toe area.

- On the ground surface, the inside edge is concave for lightness, to prevent forging and to impede mud and snow packing, while the outside rim is bevelled facilitating turning.

The crease or swedge includes the toe area improving traction and increasing strength without additional weight, but is does not include the heels, allowing for easier stud hole application.
